about me

I am a writer, mostly of adult mysteries but I have also written some short stories and a sci-fi book for youngsters. I live in the North West of England and I am involved with the Scouts, my local residents association and I am a school governor.
Despite this busy life, I still like to find time to write and to look after my cat, Suzy.
My background is in the field of child care, though I have been retired for some years. I still do the ofdd shift in security work, though.

Ron Parker

A sci-fi story for kids, with an anti-bullying theme


Aaron Ballantyne and Barry Cutler are the leaders of two rival kids' gangs, not the modern knife wielding variety, but the kind that youngsters used to naturally form themselves into.

They put aside their differences when confronted by a common enemy - not of this world.

 

Double Murder

Ron Parker

A Murder Mystery Thriller


Detective Inspector Tom Jackson and and his sergeant, Charles Rigby, are called in to investigate when Colin Lovell returns home to find his wife murdered and his young son missing. Jackson has more to worry about, however, than just a murder and a missing child.

 

The Blue-Bike Murder

Ron Parker

When Detective Inspector Tom Jackson has to investigate the murder of a youth, things are not as straightforward as they first seem.


Young Jake Swift is terrified that he is a suspect when his friend is murdered leading him to get into dangerous situations as Tom Jackson and his team try to solve the murder. WARNING While nothing is explicit, this story does contain some scenes involving child abuse. Anyone offended by stories of this nature should refrain from reading the book

Hi, This is great. The short chapters make it easy to read and there are some amusing scenes. I'll definitely be back to read more when time permits. You do have the odd missing comma and in chapter one you have a sentence containing the words 'who'd of guessed' which should be 'who'd have gue... view book

Hi Marija, This is much better than your other book in my opinion. Unfortunately, time prevents me from reading more than a sample but what I have seen looks to be well written and I was unable to find any errors. It's a good opening chapter which draws the reader in as it's meant to do. It's onl... view book

Hi Tyler, An interesting concept and of global interest and relevance. Also, sadly true. As I'm sure you know it won't appeal to everyone but many will find it interesting reading. It is, of course, more an essay than a story, and you do have a few typos. For instance, in chapter one you have ... view book

Hi A.B, I see you've managed to get to the top without needing my help. Cogratualtions and good luck with whatever happens next - hopefully, publication at some stage. It's easy to see why your story made it to the desk. It's great. Ron view book

Hi Harold, I'm afraid this story isn't for me. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it, it just isn't to my taste. In fact I was unable to spot a single error in the actual writing. One thing that did strile me though was that you opened the story by setting the scene. This does need ... view book
